Everyone likely to read this knows that root can unlock a lot of doors for Android modding, and an unlocked bootloader opens even more. But for HTC phones, S-OFF is the ultimate in control, allowing users essentially unlimited access to every piece of code on the device. The Revolutionary dev team has released a new S-OFF method for the HTC One. You may remember these guys from exploits on most of the major HTC phones from 2011 and earlier.

The last few years have been really exciting. Heck, the whole last decade. The explosive proliferation of broadband brought about a whole new world of possibilities for mankind, and the mobile revolution, even moreso. From about 2007 to the present, we watched as Apple and Google, as well as a host of phone manufacturers, turned the world upside down by putting powerful, location-aware, internet-connected, touchscreen mini-computers in the hands of everyday consumers for a price that is relatively affordable.

A little more than two weeks ago a revolutionary (pun intended) new unlock and root solution was released by AlphaRev and Unrevoked that provided S-Off and NAND write access to a number of HTC devices. That tool received an update today that adds a number of previously unsupported device to the mix:

We've been waiting all day for a new project called Revolutionary from AlphaRev and Unrevoked to go live, and that moment is now upon is. This new tool allows S-Off and NAND write access to a whole slew of modern HTC phones, including some devices that have yet to receive a permanent unlock solution:

HTC Desire (bravo) 0.93.0001

HTC Desire CDMA (bravoc) 1.06.0000

HTC Wildfire (buzz) 1.01.0001

HTC Aria (liberty) 1.02.0000

HTC Incredible S (vivo) 1.09.0000 and 1.13.0000

HTC Droid Incredible 2 (vivow) 0.97.0000

HTC Desire S (saga) 0.98.0000 and 0.98.0002

HTC View (express) 1.09.0000 and 1.13.0000

HTC Flyer (flyer) 1.10.0000

HTC Sensation (pyramid) 1.17.0006, .0008, .0011 and .0012

HTC Evo 3D (shooter) 1.30.0000 and 1.40.0000

The most notable of the bunch is the EVO 3D and the Sensation -- two devices that were previously without a permanent root solution (only perma-temp).
